Koko Da Doll, 35, also known by her chosen name Rasheeda Williams, a prominent member in the Atlanta Black LGBTQ community, was murdered in Atlanta on Tuesday. Gun violence has claimed the lives of at least three transgender women in recent weeks.

The Atlanta Police Department reported that Williams was fatally shot at a shopping center in the Southwest area of Atlanta on April 18.

Williams is a principal cast member in the upcoming documentary "Kokomo City." The documentary premiered at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in January to critical acclaim and is the feature directorial debut of Grammy-nominated producer, singer, and songwriter D. Smith. "Kokomo City" chronicles the lives of four Black trans sex workers in Atlanta and New York City as they navigate the challenges of existing as trans in the Black community and the persistent threat of violence they encounter daily.

Smith provided a statement on Williams' death to Deadline.

"I created Kokomo City because I wanted to show the fun, humanized, natural side of Black trans women," she said. "I wanted to create images that didn't show the trauma or the statistics of murder of transgender lives. I wanted to create something fresh and inspiring. I did that. We did that! But here we are again. It's extremely difficult to process Koko's passing, but as a team, we are more encouraged now than ever to inspire the world with her story. To show how beautiful and full of life she was. She will inspire generations to come and will never be forgotten." via GLAAD

Friends have created a Go Fund Me to assist Williams' family with burial costs. At the time of publishing, $12,500 towards the $20,000 goal has been raised on Friday night, April 21.
